The Sand Dollar
We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was cozy and private, and the neighborhood was quiet. We could walk to Gulfport's waterfront and to Tomlinson Park and Clymer Park which were very convenient since we also had our dog with us. We were just a short drive from both the beaches and downtown St. Petersburg. Joseph was always quick to respond and very accommodating.

It was a wonderful experience. Along with the kind host who even got us in our place earlier than listed, to making sure our stay was flawless. Had a fabulous time with our dog companions and the place was so cozy and bright and fenced in which was an extra bonus. Thank you so much!!!

Our short stay was great! The home was the perfect size for two people! I had a couple questions and the owner was awesome at answering my questions fast and accurately! Loved the privacy with the fences in the front and back yard. Overall a great experience!

Great location
Quaint little house located in a quiet neighborhood just a couple of blocks away from bay-side restaurants, shops, art culture, bars, and a fishing pier. Everything else you came here to see is also only a few minutes away.The house is an older one bedroom flat, which has been tastefully restored.The home is surrounded by mature trees and is gated on two sides for your pets to roam free and for you to enjoy nature on the deck of an outdoor sitting area. If clean, quiet, pet friendly, and close to everything is your thing, this is the place for you. Great value for what you get.

The bungelow is close to Gulport, though it would be a long walk. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The patio area was great..nicely shaded! We would definately stay again.

Lovely Town & House!
We really enjoyed our stay, the location is perfectly in the middle of downtown St. Pete and the beach! The only downside was the WiFi did not work, which we managed since we were rarely there. Other than that, it was a great stay!
